Notes
2026-05-30——Sown Indoors. This batch was planted in damp paper towels, placed in a warm place. The rate of sprouting was great, but I made the mistake of planting them outside immediately after roots began to appear, and I think they all died, because I still haven't seen any sign of them. · Location: 11 | C2026-05-14——Direct Sow · Location: 11 | C
